I have never changed a server setting in my entire job career, but recently I have received many complaints from employees that websites sometimes get crashed, are slow to load, or don't load at all. So I did a search on Google and checked that I was getting heavy requests on the server the ddos attack. so i seen many ways to prevent this, so i did nmap and checked the open port all are fine expect the one which is open 22/tcp open ssh can this be a problem ??
Can 22/tcp open ssh? ssh the reason for a DDOS attack on the server.
